Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli has reached Dubai along with the rest of the Indian players on Friday (August 21) ahead of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. The team will now quarantine for six days in which all the players, support staff and other officials will be tested thrice before they enter the bio-secure bubble.

Kohli was missing in the team pictures earlier in the day and that led to quite a bit of speculation on social media as to where is the star batsman and captain of the franchise, but he made sure he put an end to all that with a picture from Dubai.

The Delhi-born batsman now stays in Mumbai with his wife Anushka Sharma, and has been training indoors since the nationwide lockdown in India which began towards the end of March. He posted several videos of himself working out at his indoor gym, and looks supremely fit despite the obstacles caused by the virus.

RCB will have roughly three weeks to prepare after the quarantine period gets over, so Kohli and his boys will be looking to make sure each day counts in terms of getting their skills right after a prolonged break from cricketing action. AB de Villiers, Dale Steyn and other overseas stars are also expected to join the team in UAE shortly.

The 13th edition of the tournament kick-starts on September 19 and will be played across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah with the final scheduled for November 10.
